Evocative "sorta" names have a tendency to spread misinformation when the scientific details are opaque to most people. It's not a practice that I think is okay.

I live in a city and people who can't figure out the call box will just leave packages in the street. Packages get stolen in as little as 20 minutes. I guess it all makes sense now. The morning people will at least leave it just behind

But it's not like a webpage renders an image for you and then you rend an image: you send the user a font so that they can render the page themselves with that font. It's being distributed either way.

We have that in Portland and they're reall not a hastle if you're just sitting there anyway. It's no different than showing the bus driver your ticket before you get on the bus, except you do it less and don't create lin

Steele tubes is new bicycle technology. The earliest bicycles were all wood. The bicycle was already a known and popular thing before steel. But they were thought of more as toys or akin to a swan paddleboat than a serious mode of transport

Here are specific sentences that make the claim: > It’s one of the most enduring urban myths of all: If you get in trouble, don’t count on anyone nearby to help. Research dating back to the late 1960s documents how the great majority of

This article incorrectly claims that the bystander effect is when a group of people are less likely to help than an individual, when in fact the bystander effect is when an individual becomes less likely to act in the presence of a crowd. T

It's energy that's already left the quake. It's not like wave generators stop earthquakes which cause tsunamis.

Every company in the world is told they can keep their corporate culture after an acquisition. This never actually happens, or at least I've never seen it. Optimism that they shouldn't screw up Red Hat is just not how large corpor

Tidyverse was nearly the only thing I really liked about R. The syntax is quirky, it's full of cruft, and unpleasant to make full programs out of. But if I used a new package, I knew instantly how to use it.

You need an intermediate representation (like a tree) rather than attempt to brute force every possible permutation up until some arbitrary point. Even if that weren't the case, it'd be better to give it a more obscure name or cre

Self-driving cars are just a scam to get investor money out of people who want to hop on the next big thing. The point of this is optics, not profit.

There was a time when American politicians derided the notion of having a permanent military. We're now at a 1986-esque point where we have to fight our politicians against the notion of being permanently at war.

I'm always annoyed that whenever someone purports to have an article or book on queue theory, no one actually has any math. So I'm just left with a bunch of anectdotes and no understanding.

Microservices are designed differently than monoliths. The architecture enables you to easily do something. Cognitive load isn't what matters, it's the engineering. You can spin microservices up and down to meet demand. You can
